TMI with Aldous Tyler

It's Friday the 13th, but even more terrifying is the prospect of being homeless in the USA - but there are real solutions being researched, finally! Denver, Colorado has been testing the actual impact of cash payments with no strings attached, and the results show a true way forward. Next, an analysis of how fascism can be nurtured and grown from eighty years ago just so happens to perfectly...

Starting back in 2003, private health coverage companies like UnitedHealth, Anthem Blue Cross, Humana and others were allowed to offer "Medicare Advantage" plans to senior citizens and the disabled who qualified for Medicare. Since then, those corporations have figured out how to lie, cheat and swindle the US Government for well over $100,000,000,000.00 - we're talking the level of t...

A tremendous amount of oil was discovered on the land belonging to the Osage Nation of Oklahoma. They were the richest people on Earth... until oil-greedy people KILLED them. But who? How did they get away with it? Investigative reporter Greg Palast has been on the hunt for this story for THREE decades! Where "KIllers of the Flower Moon" starring Leonardo DiCaprio ends, Greg Palast's...

While Joe Biden campaigns on "Bidenomics", the rest of us look at the economy and wonder how he and others in the political class of folks in Washington DC could be so out of touch. Turns out, it's not entirely Biden's fault, as we discover that a method for looking at inflation begun under Ronald Reagan helps ENSURE that the view from the top is ALWAYS rosier than the one from o...

TMI with Aldous Tyler 's entire mission is to be The Cure for the Common Media , and nowhere is that more necessary than with the coverage of union disputes. The UAW's upcoming strike is being presented only in terms of how bad it is going to make things for "the consumer", and when you realize the conflicts of interest these media giants have, being beholden to giant as campaign...

As summer winds down and many of us take to the road before things cool down, we take a look at the Interstate Highway system, and how its planning and development were used to smash communities of color all across the USA - and what we can do now to fix the problems caused by that. Sixty years of suffering is a lot to make up for, but it's never too late to start. Then, we hear from Dana Defo...

THIS IS A REBROADCAST OF TMI WITH ALDOUS TYLER FROM AUGUST 25, 2023! ENJOY! Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie has been maligned since it debuted as being a film that is full of hate for men. We note that this distortion is from an inability to see the real message the film sends to men everywhere: be free to be who YOU are. Could it be that the key to a better world starts with you? Find...

Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie has been maligned since it debuted as being a film that is full of hate for men. We note that this distortion is from an inability to see the real message the film sends to men everywhere: be free to be who YOU are. Could it be that the key to a better world starts with you? Find out. Next, we look at the national version of the climate lawsuit that won...

The re-election campaign of President Joe Biden is all in on "Bidenomics" as the core acheivement of the President's first four years, and that's backed up by macro-economic indicators. However, that's only true because the AVERAGE economic outlook has been imporvaed only by how much STAGGERINGLY better the billionaires are doing - most of the rest of us aren't feeling it...

Conspiracy Theories are everywhere lately, and we look at the fundamental core underlying them all to see that THAT, at least, appears to be valid. Then, while we spend a moment taking stock of how disastrous a winter Antarctica is having, we turn from that to see how building trust in each other on the local level can help mitigate the disasters we face as the Climate Crisis rolls on. Finally, we...

We start by going through some email received, including one from Senator Bernie Sanders, where the Independent from Vermont looks at the Climate Crisis and asks "how did we get here?" More, he answers that same question with an overview of who knew this would happen, and for how long they've known. We then compare that with how the annual budget bills in Congress are being poisoned...

From beautiful Madison, Wisconsin to Asheville, North Carolina to Austin, Texas and far, far more, "college towns" have become the terror of the GOP in statewide elections, often compensating for the remainder of their states' votes and then some. We explore how dramatically the tide has turned since just the year 2000, and what this points to from here. Then, we take aim at the myth...

We no longer need to think of the Climate Crisis as something to dread in the future - it is here, now. From heat-based records on land and in the ocean to flooding in Vermont and Kentucky, there is simply no denying that it is upon us - now if only THAT was enough to ensure real action: we discuss. Then, the CDC has been telling us that "excess deaths", a key measure in how bad the COVI...

"The Pandemic is over" is being deliberately used to give the deceitful impression that we've beaten COVID-19, when the latest outbreak crippling parts of Japan, Ireland and Australia (and likely here) all say otherwise as we tackle what it means for COVID to be "endemic". Then, we look at how scientists are able to get proof of man-made climate change as well as evidence f...

A relatively recent addition to Medicare, "Medicare Advantage" plans allow private health corporations to get involved with the decision-making process between a patient and their doctor. Given that these profit-driven companies make more short-term money by denying care than by providing it, this turns the promise of the federal Medicare fund on its head. We examine several examples. Th...

There's an irritation among some on the political left over just how prevalent the schadenfreude is among their cohorts regarding the Titan submersible disaster that saw five members of the billionaire class die via their own hubris while on the way to see the Titanic. We examine why the irritation exists, and why so many found joy in the death of the Titan five in the deep. Then, the audio re...

THIS IS A REBROADCAST OF THE JUNE 16, 2023 EPISODE: In the wake of the East Palestine, Ohio derailment disaster involving tanker rail cars rupturing hazardous materials into the water and air of the good people of Ohio, Senator JD Vance (R - OH) vowed he would work with his fellow Senators to put forward a bill that would address the issues that allowed that to happen. That is, until he got a whif...

In the wake of the East Palestine, Ohio derailment disaster involving tanker rail cars rupturing hazardous materials into the water and air of the good people of Ohio, Senator JD Vance (R - OH) vowed he would work with his fellow Senators to put forward a bill that would address the issues that allowed that to happen. That is, until he got a whiff of that sweet lobbyist money. We detail what happe...

Insightful author Jessica Wildfire writes this week about how we Americans ave been systematically shamed out of admitting when we are poor and need help. With her permission, I share "I Wonder What the Poor Folks Are Eating" from her Substack, a piece that details exactly how we've been led to try and show gratitude for being ripped off, and never, ever ask for help. Then we go over...

There has been a long fight in the United States to bring to the richest nation in the world what so many others have: universal health coverage. When COVID-19 came crashing down on us all, even nations with much less GDP per capita had enormously better outcomes: the USA faced roughly THREE times more dead per capita, with the only real difference being for-profit vs universal health coverage. Ex...

If you're a fan of the TV show Bones , you know that the lead character, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, is famously able to take a glance at a human skeleton and tell so much about the person who it once belonged to, including their biological sex. Unfortunately for the writers of the Fox drama, this hasn't been accepted science now since the early 1970s, something Bones would h...

The looming Climate Crisis feels like it is all too large and out of our control, but that's simply not true. While the behavior of big corporations must be the largest part of the solution, we go over little things that you, yourself can do to help mitigate the hardship we all are facing from the climate. Then, we expose the nonsense being peddled by anti-choice politicians and activists that...

The likes of Elvis Presley and David Bowie have famously sung about how someone could be so lonely they could die, but Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has recently confirmed it. In a recent advisory, Surgeon General Murthy calls attention to a public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection in our country that can lead to mental health challenges and increase the risk for pr...

Since taking the reins of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts has had an unflinching policy of denying access to the hallowed halls of SCOTUS to most cases proposed to them. The issue has always been if the case is being brought by someone with "standing" - in other words, if the case is being put forward by a person or entity that is being harmed by not having the Supreme Cour...

When you hear the term "Class War", it's typically being thrown at you by those who STARTED the war in the first place - the Capital Class. Want proof? Just talk to Assoc. Professor Clara Mattei: her new book, " The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism " lays out all the evidence of how Austerity was carefully crafted to be a weapon...
